I recently posted on Adam‘s Facebook page that due to a health emergency, Adam was cancelling his upcoming appearance in New York. For the foreseeable future, we are canceling all appearances.
There’s no nice way to say this, so I’m just gonna spit out. Without going into excessive detail, the situation is as follows: Adam has had a large mass removed from his lower GI tract. The biopsy revealed that he has Stage 3C colorectal cancer. Google it.
People have recovered from this and worse. Adam is looking forward to being one of those people.
The initial surgery was very successful. Adam will start chemotherapy within the next couple of weeks. We cannot properly anticipate how this will affect his ability to work. We’re taking things one day at a time, one doctor appointment at a time. If you have been emailing Adam or myself and not gotten a response, we beg your forgiveness and your patience.
We’re trying to cope not just with this, but also a brand new puppy. He was born on April 1st (no joke) and mom is recovering from a c-section. Our oldest dog Potter was also recently diagnosed with — you guessed it — cancer.

In short, it’s a lot. Adam is focused on healing from surgery and preparing for the fight ahead. I’m focused on overseeing that, making sure that Adam has everything he needs to be successful in his battle, and every other thing going on here.
We appreciate everyone’s patience, messages of well wishes, prayers, and good thoughts. I will try and keep everyone updated; the best source for that will be the Adam’s website, his Patreon page, and Facebook.
Love to you all from Adam and myself, five crazy old English sheepdogs, and a couple of very excellent cats.

You have, and will certainly continue to make the world a more beautiful place. Thank you for the gift of your art, perspective, and humor. A speedy recovery in your path back to health.
Best wishes Adam with your speedy recovery and may your pet Potter also recover soon ASAP.
And remember everyone, F Cancer. Always get check as you never know if it is slowly growing in you and getting it discovered sooner makes your chances to survive a lot better.
Sending great ju-ju your way. Adam is, IMHO, the most extraordinary talent working in comics today, and I look forward to seeing more of his work for many years to come. Get well quickly!

All best wishes to Adam and Potter. You can get through this. Hope to see one or even both of you at a convention in the future.
Allison, my thoughts and prayers for Adam and Potter with everything they are going thru with the cancer as well as you.
